Competitive Advantages

Why Southwest Florida? The Bonita Springs and Estero area’s quality of life and pro-business environment is unmatched anywhere else in the state. We create jobs, advocate for business friendly legislation, connect with our educators to embrace necessary change, and invest in the community to generate economic growth and prosperity.

Lee County was recently ranked in the top 10 of the nation’s fastest-growing metro areas thanks to the relocation of major companies such as The Hertz Corporation. This growth reflects the popularity and success of the pro-business policies enacted in the past few years.

The Quality of Life

The Bonita Springs and Estero region’s quality of life is unmatched, anywhere! People come here seasonally from all over the world for a reason, and although the gorgeous beaches are a significant highlight, it is more about the sense of place and laid-back lifestyle. The fact that you can work hard and relax as though you are on vacation every day is a huge quality of life bonus. We love to be outdoors with clean air and sunshine and think you and your family deserve to enjoy it, too.
